Conglobation in the Pill Bug (Armadillidium vulgare) as a Terrestrial Adaptation
Meeting Abstract P3.28 Jan. 6 Conglobation in the Pill Bug (Armadillidium vulgare) as a Terrestrial Adaptation SMIGEL, Jacob T.*; GIBBS, Allen G.; Univ. Of Nevada, Las Vegas; Univ. of Nevada, Las Vegas jacobs@intermind.net We investigated water loss of the terrestrial isopod, Armadillidium vulgare, during conglobation (rolling-up behavior). We measured water loss and metabolic rates at 18 � […]
